uac

I have a scenario where I need to launch an EXE from my .NET application, but I can't get around the UAC prompt that pops up. The prompt is triggered even before the other EXE is launched - probably on the very call to Process.Start . I use this code for launching the app: var info = new ProcessStartInfo(path, "params"); info.Verb = "runas"; try { Process.Start(info); } catch (System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception) { // Person denied UAC escallation return false; } Both EXEs (my app and the other EXE) have this defined in their manifest: <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess=

When I start my application with administrative permissions (right click on the EXE | Run as administrator), the UAC dialog with an orange or yellow banner appears with the warning that the publisher is unknown. Instead of purchase a certificate, I would like to do it differently. I think there must be possibilities to accomplish that without a purchased certificate. Basically, I want the look and feel when I start, for example, the calc.exe (Calculator in Windows) with administrative permissions. Which options or alternatives do I have? None! For the publisher to be known, you application

I need to restart IIS from a C#/.NET application. This seems like a trivial issue, but I haven't had success thus far, and none of the answers from this question have worked. I am a local administrator on the machine. I've tried this: var process = new Process { StartInfo = { Verb = "runas", WorkingDirectory = @"C:\Windows\System32\", FileName = @"issreset.exe" } }; process.Start(); but this throws a Win32Exception - cannot find the file specified. I've also tried various combinations of putting the whole path in FileName , and using UseShellExecute but neither of those options helped. I've

Is there any way to check in JavaScript if the current program runs with administrative privileges? For example in C# i can do it with the following code: bool isRunningWithAdminApprovals; WindowsIdentity identity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent(); WindowsPrincipal principal = new WindowsPrincipal(identity); isRunningWithAdminApprovals = principal.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator); However I need to check it with a current running script of javaScript. If i try to run an exe or a wrapper of the C# code, the UAC will prompt me to approve it and then i will already be in Administrative

Since Vista & windows 7 came out some of my .NET application has started throwing security exceptions. I've noticed that some applications (i.e. my antivirus, control panel) have a small shield and when I run these applications administrator privileges are automatically requested from me by windows. I know that as a user I can set the application to run as administrator but that's not good enough because if the application will run without privileges it would crash on my users machines. Is there a way to tell windows (programmatically) I want the application to run with administrative
